Imagine trading the usual beach lounging for a soulful journey that blends yoga, breathwork, and ice bath therapy amidst the lush surroundings of Cozumel. This retreat is ideal if you’re craving a few days to reconnect with yourself and nature, all while exploring holistic healing techniques. For $564, you get four days filled with daily classes ranging from integral yoga, Kundalini chakras, to sound healing, plus the unique experience of ice bath therapy.

What we really loved about this experience is the emphasis on authentic practices that are accessible for all levels—whether you’re a seasoned yogi or a curious newcomer. The setting at Casa Chakras is a cozy haven featuring private cabins, lush gardens, and easy access to outdoor spaces perfect for relaxing between sessions. The second highlight? The carefully curated delicious, nutritious meals that are as much a part of the retreat as the yoga, with dishes cooked from scratch that cater to various dietary needs.

A key consideration? The retreat’s focus on holistic well-being might mean it’s less about sightseeing and more about inward reflection.
